Patent EP-1328498-A1 (EP)
Inventor: BEHR ARNO
IPC: C07C51/377
Filed: 2001-08-03
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the decomposition of lactones which optionally have functional groups into carboxylic acids by catalytically reacting the corresponding lactone with hydrogen by using a compound of a metal of group VIII of the periodic system that is modified with organophosphins. The inventive method is preferably carried out in a two-phase system by means of catalysts that have water-soluble phosphin ligands. The reaction is especially suitable for dissociating 2-ethylidene-6-heptene-5-olide to give 2-ethylidene-6-heptene carboxylic acid or the isomers thereof. Said carboxylic acid can be hydrated to 2-ethylheptanoic acid in a conventional manner.

Title: Flexible heat- and sound-insulating panel
Inventor: JESSEN ERLING
IPC: E04B1/76
Filed: 2001-07-17
Abstract: A flexible panel (1) for heat- and sound-insulating the area between parallel beam elements arranged with an interspacing (x), eg. two ridge beams (3', 3'') of two trusses in a roof structure. The panel is made from mineral wool fibres and provided with planar end faces (6) cut off substantially perpendicular to the "flex" direction (A) of the panel. The length (1) of the panel (1) slightly exceeds the spacing (x) between the beam elements and its thickness (t) exceeds one cross-sectional dimension of the beam element, eg the height (h) of the ridge beams (3', 3''). At least one of the end faces (6) of the panel is provided with one to five slits provided substantially parallel to the large planar lateral faces of the panel. The distance (y) between one of said lateral faces (1b) and the first slit (5, 5a) in the row of slits (5a-5e) corresponds substantially to one cross-sectional dimension of the beam element, eg the height (h) of the ridge beam (3', 3'). As a result the panel may provide insulation between the beam element as well as above said elements in a more simple manner than hitherto known.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for fabricating of continuous castings with fine and uniform microstructure, which can be used as feedstock for secondary processing routes, such as thixoforming, forging and machining or direct application in industry. An overheated liquid alloy is fed into a high shear device (for example, a twin-screw extruder) and sheared intensively to produce a sheared liquid alloy or a semisolid slurry, wherein the sheared liquid alloy is at a temperature close to its liquidus and the semisolid slurry is then transferred to a shaping device for production of continuous castings with fine and uniform microstructures through a solidification process. The shaping device is any device capable of forming continuous (i.e. infinite length) products, such as a direct chill (DC) caster (DC rheocasting) for production of continuous billets, an extrusion die (rheo-extrusion) for production of continuous bars or wires, or a twin-roll caster (twin-roll rheocasting) for producing of continuous strips. In all those cases, the cross-section of the continuous castings exhibits a microstructure in which a controlled volume fraction of fine and spherical primary particles are uniformly distributed in a fine structured matrix.

Abstract: A process for producing aluminum nitride includes a step of
holding an aluminum powder in a nitrogen atmosphere whose nitrogen
gas pressure falls in a range of from 105 to 300 kPa, thereby
developing a nitriding reaction at a temperature of from 500 to
1,000 °C , wherein a reaction controller gas, controlling the
development of the nitriding reaction, is supplied into a reactor
chamber in which the aluminum powder is accommodated. In the
production process, the reaction controller gas is included in the
nitrogen atmosphere in the development of the nitriding reaction.
Accordingly, the development of the nitriding reaction is controlled
so that it is possible to develop the nitriding reaction at a lower
temperature. As a result, it is possible to produce an aluminum
nitride powder whose particle diameters are fine.

the tube including the opening at its distal end protrudes beyond the opening at the distal
end of the endoscope and the tube is aligned such that a gas stream exiting from the
opening at the distal end of the tube is directed onto an area to be coagulated. An electrode
is positioned inside the tube for ionizing the inert gas, the electrode being offset from the
opening at the distal end of the tube a minimum safety distance, in such manner that the
electrode cannot come into contact with the tissue. A source of pressurized, ionizable inert
gas is connected to the opening at the proximal end of the tube and pressurized such that a
stream of gas flows from the source, exits through the tube through the opening at the
distal end of the tube, the longitudinal axis of the portion of the tube that protrudes from the
endoscope being positioned generally parallel to an area of tissue to be coagulated to achieve
coagulation, and means for adjusting a first and a second flow rate during coagulation for
standby Operation and to the exit opening of the tube.
Markers are positioned on the distal end of the tube in order to allow
the observation the protrusion of the tube out of the working channel.
